Turan Kadayıf

At Turan Kadayıf, which has been serving in the Kapalıçarşı for many years, you can find all manner of things. On every visit I buy dough for tepsi mantısı here. My wife makes a legendary chicken mantı with this tepsi mantısı dough. After your shopping here, I would recommend going to Şark Yaprak to eat and to Mehmet Tanju Geye Dondurma for something sweet.
